Italy, Greece and Romania are challenging the EU’s current approach to legislation by calling for an evidence-based approach, according to the World Vapers’ Alliance. The organisation says Politico is reporting their stand against the EU’s current tobacco control strategy.
L-Alleanza Dinjija tal-Vapers tgħid: ’Italy, supported by Greece and Romania, is taking a stand against the EU’s current tobacco control strategy, as reported by Politico. While a coalition of countries led by the Netherlands pushes for rushed revisions to EU tobacco legislation, Italy is calling for a balanced approach that includes proper impact assessments and proportional measures. This comes at a critical time when the EU’s current strategy is proving ineffective—at the current pace, the bloc will miss its smoke-free target by an astonishing 60 years.”
Michael Landl, Director of the World Vapers’ Alliance, stated: “The EU’s demonisation of nicotine alternatives like vaping is not only misguided but also counterproductive. Italy’s leadership in advocating for evidence-based regulation is exactly what Europe needs to reverse its failing trajectory. Europe needs risk-based regulation rather than ineffective bans and excessive tax hikes.”
